It's interesting. I didn't recognize all the tunes (most of them I did, of course, having gone to summer camp and Christmas services in the US). I got 'em all.

I got 'em all. Some of them sounded to me like sentences with grammatical errors. They were all musically very adherent to Euro tradition. That is, they were all in some key or other. When the key shifted, it shifted. Nothing subtle.
I don't think this test is really a test of tonal recognition. It's more of a test of culturally determined expectations.
Looking at the data it looks like it's designed to identify a relatively small number of atypical people. I hope they're careful about following up; if this were a test for actual hearing anomalies, it might have both false negatives and false positives that would swamp the real diagnoses if the test were applied to a broad population.
And, General MIDI still sucks after all these years.
